Things are weird & people are strange. I don't think we've formally met. I'm Hope 26. She/Her

“Oh really? Whoa, that’s— that means so much to me to hear my album helped you find your love for music writing again.” To meet Louis after all these years. To be able to hold a conversation about music with him like this. To have him pay such close attention to me as I spoke. To have him to be such a calming presence to engage with. Not to be dramatic, but I genuinely believe today was the best day of my life.

I felt disconnected to the things that I was performing before because it didn't feel like it was really me. I can sing R&B music and it works for my vocals but actually performing it on stage, I never felt like I could connect to it. I'm not Chris Brown, I'm not Usher, I'm not gonna pull out some dance moves, I'm not gonna start giving the smoochy eyes. I just wanna stand there and sing and this music felt like it gave me the space to do that.
